Pros

The pay is very nice but for the work done and the amount of physical injury that occurs it is barely worth it.

Cons

New company in the US that is having major structural problems. Bad work environment. Management is trained to say one thing in order to smooth over situations and then do the exact opposite. Logistics is a nightmare. No one is ever let go so people who do their job are required to work twice as hard to cover for people unable or unwilling to do their own job. Many other things need to be improved upon with this company

Pros

Got to travel and train overseas, which was incredible. The supervisors and associates were awesome to work with.

Cons

Upper management was a joke. They would come into the store, not say hello and start grilling you. The turnover rate of managers and district managers is a complete joke. Why is so much good talent leaving? Nobody can answer that. I am so grateful that I was able to find a better job with a better company, thinking of LIDL makes me cringe and feel bad for those still there. Store managers are so underpaid it's not even close.
